Answer You - Associations Deliver Value, But They Don’t Know How Much
Anyone with the responsibility for hiring or promoting employees knows how aggravating it is to select a candidate that seemed right during the interview process only to realize later the new employee isn’t really a good fit for the job. Both the company AND the employee suffer for it. Poor job fit often results in lost productivity, the need for tough management, con

Portable tradeshow display sales, up until about 3 years ago, involved a sales person representing a tradeshow display manufacturer bringing a portable display to your place of business. He would spend about 1 hour showing how the display sets up, tears down and discussing the types of graphics options you have, among other tradeshow related information. With the adven

Today, younger persons ask themselves, “What’s in it for me?” and unfortunately, organizations don’t have the answers. For several years now, I have been conducting my Member Value Process for associations and societies—they can answer my above questions of yearly sustainable real-dollar value received and ROI.
For about half a decade I have been talking to my association audiences about a 1999 study conducted by the American Society of Association Executives on why members do not retain their membership. My personal synthesizing of the data leads me to believe that over 75% of the members surveyed that did not renew their membership selected not to do so because they did not believe they were receiving enough value for their membership investment.
While no two associations are the same, I have listed below a few common line items of member benefits that should help you to have a better understanding as to the real-dollar amounts that organization members have assigned during my sessions. Remember, these “cumulative specific value information” numbers are the yearly sustainable dollar-value amounts.
